COURSE PROGRESS
After a few hours of dual flight and a first theoretical exam on air regulations, you are released for a first solo flight without an instructor. Then, as a student pilot, you will perfect your flight maneuvers in preparation for the flight test, with the guidance or under the supervision of your instructor.
This initial training is the quickest and most minimalist way in aviation, granting the privileges of a flight permit.
